Transpector CPM Operating Manual
3.4.2 Installing Multiple Transpector CPM Sensors
Each Transpector CPM is shipped with an identical default IP address. When
installing multiple Transpector CPM, the IP address of each Transpector CPM
must be changed one at a time so that each Transpector CPM has a unique
IP address. (Refer to section 3.3.1, Using the INFICON Mass Spectrometer Search
Utility to Change the Transpector CPM IP Address, on page 3-3.)
Do not connect multiple Transpector CPM to a network
without first changing the IP addresses. Otherwise, there
will be IP address conflicts on the network.
3.4.2.1 Installing Multiple Transpector CPM Directly to a Host Computer
A private local network must be created when multiple Transpector CPM sensors
are connected to a single host computer instead of an existing local area network.
Transpector CPM must be installed on either a router or Ethernet switch. The
router or switch is connected to the host computer through the LAN port of the
router/switch.
3.4.2.2 Installing Multiple Transpector CPM on an Existing Local Network
Use an Ethernet switch instead of a router when multiple Transpector CPM
sensors are connected to an existing local network.
Routers can cause conflicts with local networks because
the router will attempt to set IP addresses for all network
connected devices.
Since Transpector CPM sensors are network connected devices, each sensor
must have an IP address assigned to it by a network administrator. After changing
each IP address manually, connect all of the sensors to the Ethernet switch and
connect the switch to the local network.
